Gone Girl
Gillian Flynn
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - The "mercilessly entertaining" (Vanity Fair) instant classic "about the nature of identity and the terrible secrets that can survive and thrive in even the most intimate relationships" (Lev Grossman, Time). NAMED ONE OF THE MOST INFLUENTIAL BOOKS OF THE DECADE BY CNN - NAMED ONE OF TIME'S TEN BEST FICTION BOOKS OF THE DECADE AND ONE OF ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY'S BEST BOOKS OF THE DECADE NAMED ONE OF THE TEN BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY Janet Maslin, The New York Times - People - Entertainment Weekly - O: The Oprah Magazine - Slate - Kansas City Star - USA Today - Christian Science MonitorOn a warm summer morning in North Carthage, Missouri, it is Nick and Amy Dunne's fifth wedding anniversary. Presents are being wrapped and reservations are being made when Nick's clever and beautiful wife disappears. Husband-of-the-Year Nick isn't doing himself any favors with cringe-worthy daydreams about the slope and shape of his wife's head, but passages from Amy's diary reveal the alpha-girl perfectionist could have put anyone dangerously on edge. Under mounting pressure from the police and the media--as well as Amy's fiercely doting parents--the town golden boy parades an endless series of lies, deceits, and inappropriate behavior. Nick is oddly evasive, and he's definitely bitter--but is he really a killer? NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY San Francisco Chronicle - St. Louis Post Dispatch - Chicago Tribune - HuffPost - Newsday "Absorbing . . . In masterly fashion, Flynn depicts the unraveling of a marriage--and of a recession-hit Midwest--by interweaving the wife's diary entries with the husband's first-person account."--New Yorker "Ms. Flynn writes dark suspense novels that anatomize violence without splashing barrels of blood around the pages . . . Ms. Flynn has much more up her sleeve than a simple missing-person case. As Nick and Amy alternately tell their stories, marriage has never looked so menacing, narrators so unreliable."--The Wall Street Journal "The story unfolds in precise and riveting prose . . . even while you know you're being manipulated, searching for the missing pieces is half the thrill of this wickedly absorbing tale."--O: The Oprah MagazineBinding Type: HardcoverAuthor: Gillian FlynnPublisher: Crown Publishing Group (NY)Published: 06/05/2012ISBN: 9780307588364Pages: 419Weight: 1.45lbsSize: 9.20h x 6.40w x 1.30dAward: Baileys Women's Prize for Fiction - NomineeAward: Anthony Awards - NomineeAward: Edgar Allan Poe Awards - NomineeAward: Macavity Award - NomineeReview Citations: Library Journal 01/01/2012 pg. 66Library Journal 03/01/2012 pg. 87Publishers Weekly 03/26/2012 pg. 59Romantic Times 06/01/2012 pg. 80 - ExcellentBooklist 05/01/2012 pg. 31Kirkus Reviews 05/01/2012Entertainment Weekly 06/01/2012 pg. 120People Weekly 06/11/2012 pg. 55Shelf Awareness 06/12/2012New York Times Book Review 06/17/2012 pg. 15Entertainment Weekly 07/06/2012 pg. 78Kirkus Reviews 05/15/2012Entertainment Weekly 07/20/2012 pg. 78Entertainment Weekly 07/27/2012 pg. 74People Weekly 07/30/2012 pg. 43New Yorker (The) 08/13/2012 pg. 93Entertainment Weekly 08/31/2012 pg. 77Christian Century 10/17/2012 pg. 63Publishers Weekly Best Books 11/05/2012 pg. 29Kirkus Best Fiction 11/15/2012 pg. 16Entertainment Weekly 11/30/2012 pg. 18Entertainment Weekly 12/07/2012 pg. 47LJ Best Books of Year 12/01/2012 pg. 24Shelf Awareness 12/28/2012People Weekly 12/31/2012 pg. 47Entertainment Weekly 12/28/2012 pg. 104Kirkus Bea Big Book Guide 05/15/2012 pg. 8People Weekly 03/04/2013 pg. 54Entertainment Weekly 01/17/2014 pg. 21People Weekly 09/08/2014 pg. 110People Weekly 10/06/2014 pg. 62New York Review of Books 12/04/2014 pg. 18New York Times Book Review 03/01/2015 pg. 24Accelerated Reader Quiz #/Name: 160426 / Gone GirlReading Level: 5.6 / Interest Level: Upper Grade / Point Value: 23
